Canon M200 vs Samsung NX500 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The pic below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M200 and NX500.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung NX500 to offer extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent M200 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
